Sigma Nu Put On Probation
For Rush, Liquor Violations
fiema Nu frnttrr.ity has been at least one active member" cony probation sumed liquor during rush recepp'.; ml on

tion hours earlier this semester."
''Sigma Nu'k actions are a direct
liolation of existing rush rules,"
Wallace said. "It's unfortunate that
this incident had to come up, and
it was in fairness to the fraternities who observed rush rules that
the penalties were meted."
"I hope there will be no other
violations of this sort." Wallace
continued. "They bring discredence
to the UK fraternity system as a
whole.
"We have made great strides in
the last two years with our deferred pledging system, and we can't
afford to let the actions of a few
individuals undermine the rest of
the fraternity system on campus,"
he said.

'Beau' Ties For New Hair Styles
From The Milwaukee Journal
Time was when a man could
lose his head or, economically
speaking, his shirt over a girl.
Now, thanks to a new fashion fad,
he can also lose his tie. So says
a report on "beau ties," new hair
styles that are fit to be tied.
A whole variety of tie-uand
tie-iare to be seen which coordinate the tie to the hair style.
Girls use a bow tie to encircle
a muffinlike pouf of curls on top.
They convert the four in hand Into
a headband, letting the long ends
dangle over the ears to cover part
of the band. They bring a bow
tie around their head to tie in
front, letting a few curly petals
of hair fall into bangs over the
forehead. They perch a clip-o- n
bow on top of a pony tail. Those
with short wave length wear the
clip-o- n
low over an ear or clip
it in front to bangs.
s,
Needed in many of these
cautions a hair fashion authority,
is a soft home permanent for body
and for line. For more curl, less
curl, set with rollers. The rule is
the longer the hair, the bigger
the roller.
The fad for tie-ualso seems
to be taking on regional character- to the report.

UK's Progressive Budget
The University's budget request
was
r
for the
period, 1962-6.called "large but realistic" last week
by President Dickey.
It is more than this; we think it
is progressive. The request shows that
this state stands on the threshold of
greater opportunity to better educate
its youth. Indeed, the youth of our
state are not the only ones who will
benefit from the more than 25 million dollar requested increase. The
entire state will benefit from it. This
University probably stands as the best
possible avenue for "heading in the
right direction."
We are sick unto death from hearof
ing our own citizens and those
other states continually spreading the
word that Kentucky ranks lowest
among her sister states in one field
after another. It is about time we did
something about it. It is time for us to
"tafk up" Kentucky instead of "talk
two-yea-

3

-

ing down" Kentucky.
This is not an appeal from University oificials for the support of
every student, although they do want
your support. Rather, it is an appeal
from we, the editors of the Kernel-o- ne
wholestudent to another-f- or
hearted support for the budget request.
You, as a student, have just as
much at stake in this matter as any
other Kentuckian. Certainly, we realize that this will not solve all of the
Commonwealth's problems in two
years. It would be bordering on
ignorance to believe this. But, again
we say, this is a step in the right
direction.
If you are a Kentuckian, and if you
and your parents really believe in your
state, then you should encourage-ev- en
demand the full support of
your parents for the increased budget
request.

Worship Of Success
"A statement from the dean of one;

of the nation's prominent law schools,
given at graduation time a tew weeks
ago, still is worth repeating. It was
d
the comment of Dean Erwin N.
of Harvard University and it
dealt with a subject familiar to all
of us; As we consider mounting college enrollments and expenses, we
alO should be giving thought to the
pmpose of it all.
You expect older persons to be
concerned with security. But Dean
Griswold, for one, cannot understand
why so many of college age also put
personal security above most other
considerations, even at that age. He
wonders what has happened to the
onetime zest of young people for
more adventure in vocations, those
involvnig more risk and service of the

Incomplete Stories

To 'jfhe Editor:
Today's KcrneFs front page (Wednesday, Sept. 20) carried two stories
of extreme importance to UK
and Kentuckians in general;
"Proposed UK Budget Jumps $23
Million," and "Dickey Appeals To
Tress."
ijie stories are incomplete too
many vital questions are left unanswered. The biggest single question is: Why, specifically is so large
an increase needed? Some sort of
breakdown by departments and coljustifications for
leges is needed-wi- th'
each. We must remember that 50 million dollars for two years is an expenditure of approximately $3,600 per
student each year. That's enough to
support a family!
Would this level of expenditure

be expected to continue in years
ahead?
i Will tuition and other student
costs lie affected?
Will this budget allow the school
'to absorb research costs that might
be lorne by other agencies, particularly private industry?
Why is this increase needed so
suddenly? Enrollment has jumped and
will continue to rise, but not at the
rate of MX) percent in two years!
Where will the extra 2i million
dollars come from? Is Kentucky's revenue sufficient to cover the additional
expense?
Has there been any official response from the state government
concerning tin's increase?
If these additional expenditures
are really necessary, I for one will
support thein, but please, let's have
all the facts!

Its absence at UK can be corrected
The experiences of the last eight
with the naming of three vice presimonths dispel the notion that Students; one to direct and coordinate
dent Congress can be a meaningful
body on sheer will alone. The survival of student government on this
or any campus depends on its purpose, structure, and leadership.
What is Student Congress's purpose? Nobody really knows. The
Congress convenes, debates, creates
committees, and adjourns. Student
government at UK has no defined
purpose or goals. True, it serves as
a forum for the expression of student
opinion, but it goes no further! The
expression of student opinion should
serve as a means to some appreciable
and positive end, instead of being an
end in itself.
If Student Congress is to be a
meaningful and productive organ in
the conduct of student affairs, a definition of its purpose and a delineation
of its responsibilities are in order.
One might describe it as an organization functioning to enhance the
academic life of the student body, the woik of Student Congress, comanother to integrate congress
